Corrugated comprehension Lack of mental stimulation Stupid wisdom is what you earn When you see no need to learn King of all that you survey A violation of reality Psychiatria (1997) The world is crumbling Social fabric ripped apart Apathy the new religion Selfishness replacing God Humanistic thinking Destroys humanity Civilization breaks down A suiciety Humankind has capsized Common sense has run aground Independent thought is lost No survivors have been found (chorus) Looking Down On You (1997) I've got a pocketful of promises That I made when you were hypnotized By the times Coasting on the ferris wheel Hoping I'll stay on because You know that I have got nothing to lose I'm sitting up on top Looking down on you Now I'm all content with my wallet full Although your pockets are empty too Just like your minds Coasting on the ferris wheel Hoping I'll stay on because You know that I have got nothing to lose I'm sitting up on top Looking down on you ...On you Shattered Soul (1997) Depression beckons me inside A hollow place in my own mind I close my eyes - my blood turns cold I languish in my pain alone I claw at nothing - lovingly I fall to nowhere - but still I feel The icy blood within my veins The void I'm feeling feeds my pain (solo) I wake up screaming - in my dreams The nightmare becoming reality My frozen soul comes crashing down One million pieces on the ground Survival (1997) Time is racing by me Picks up speed along the way Minutes eaten by hours And swallowed up by days In this world of confusion My happiness an illusion Growing jaded and cynical Treading water in a sea of delusion Now the pain I felt within me is gone I've learned to turn it off when I have to Feeling this cold inside seems wrong But this is to survive I see the world around me Indulge in meaningless games They all lead to nowhere And always end the same Caught in a vicious cycle Vortex in a drain Frustration pulls me under And I drown beneath the waves (chorus - repeat and fade) I Don't Mind (1997) You cry - you whine You point your finger at the next one in the line You try to hide That small angelic dust within your eye Well, I don't mind I don't mind You bark - you bite But the dog that has the bone can't win the fight You're talking so frantic Trying to change the world Your good intentions Are just borrowed words And I don't mind I don't mind 'Cuz we're only here for a little while And you're only there for a little while So I don't mind I don't mind (solo) ...I don't mind Junior (1997) Junior's standing by the roadside looking great Sharing with birds the cookies mommy made And passing there in a long black caddy Junior stares - it looks a lot like daddy Junior's standing by the roadside looking sick Storing away - the mental pictures click Junior's standing by the roadside looking low Wondering why his daddy had to go And in his mind is a perfect family Junior dreams a childhood memory Junior's standing by the roadside looking pale Wondering what the hell he ever did (solo) How Many Times (1997) How many dreams can be taken out of reach before your mind ceases to dream? Sometimes it's hard to keep me from sleep 'Cuz I'm only alive when I'm inside it deep How many times can you fall in and out of love? How many times can you try but lose it all? How many times? And how many years has it been since I could feel anything at all? Emotions that are real So Far To Fall (1997) I used to think I knew what love was In my youth I thought I knew it all I was proud And I would always say I'll do it all my way 'Cuz I know everything I didn't realize the tightrope I'd been on But the ground was a long way down And I had so far to fall I thought my life and love were doing fine No obstacles would ever bring me down I was wrong I'd thrown it all away With selfish things I'd do and say I ruined everything I lost my balance and my life turned upside down Overnight I would lose it all And I had so far to fall I've learned so much - it's too late It's far too late it's too late I fell so far - it's too late It's much too late it's too late You (1997) Ooh yesterday Seems so long ago Yet not so long I said goodbye to you Years go by Time moves on But memories of you Will always stay with me You were mine We were young and free We though it would last forever Now it's just a faded dream Sometimes I see You and I in my dreams Memories of those carefree times Will always make me smile We were young Innocent of experience Everything we did was new I shared so much with you Life goes on We've gone our separate ways The time we spent is part of me I'll never forget you Picture (1997) (The riff from this tune was used by the rock group GLITCH in 1999 to make their song 'Fruitloop' as part of the 'We Love Glitch' ep. Permission was given to Lisa Starr to use the riff. It was also used by Fallen Race during the invasion of sanity session on a lyric called 'timebomb ticking' which was sung by Brett Furuta, but is not included on this compilation) You're only two dimensions Only height and width You're not really there Your body has no depth You are just a picture An image on the wall My imagination Not really there at all I wish you had three dimensions I wish you were like me We could live forever In a world of make believe And deep inside my mind Your image seems so real At night sometimes I tell you All the things I feel (chorus) I wish you had three dimensions I wish you were like me We could live forever (solo) When I Hold You Close (1997) If I were a rich man with a pocket full of gold You would take me This I know But if I were a poor man with just a head full of dreams Would you want me? Well, I hope so 'Cuz when I hold you close Something inside tells me I know This is right When I hold you close oh it feels so right When I hold you close I know I'm not the kind who knows what love's about 'Cuz I keep falling in and out But there must be something wrong 'cuz something's feeling right within me I have no doubt.
